I cherry-picked a bunch of excellent mashups from M*A*S*H and The Food. Apologies to Bootie LA, who just gave me a copy of their great CD, but I think The Food’s What I Diggity Say (Ray Charles vs. Blackstreet) has got to be one of the best mashups I’ve ever heard and certainly the most amazing mashup of 2006. In the same R&B vein, I loved Work Out My Number (Beyonce vs. Ernest Raglin). I also liked their Callin’ it Black (ACDC vs. local rapper Lyrics Born). M*A*S*H has the awesomely mixed Put on the Super Freak (Rick James vs. Police), Doncha Dance (Pussycat Dolls vs. David Bowie vs. Busta Rhymes), and the discolicious My Salsoul Humps (Carol Williams vs. Black Eyed Peas).
But wait, there’s more: I really miss the Extra Action Marching Band, who have been on hiatuts to hibernate in a cave all winter like oversexed rabid bears — so I uploaded a handful of videos I took of EA last year to YouTube. You’ve probably already seen a couple of these, but here they are:
Extra Action rehearsal of Burning Down the House with David Byrne * short video of Burning Down the House finale * more Fillmore: flag girls onstage * Extra Action covers Black Sabbath at Galapagos in New York
Bonus: my short video of ultrahot burlesque dancer Kitten DeVille onstage at Tease-A-Rama.
